Weeds -- Season Premiere -- "Messy" -- 7/01/12

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
In the Season 8 premiere, the shooting victim is rushed to the hospital and the family is left to theorize about who may have pulled the trigger.


13 episode final season

I know most in this forum don't really care about Weeds anymore, but since it's the last season, I'll try to do threads for all 13 weeks.

Promo:

Thought it was pretty great.

1. loved that they had the balls to actually have the person being shot be
Spoiler:
Nancy
and not cop out with being
Spoiler:
a minor character


2. thank god they brought back "little boxes".... and the animated credits with the journey was good.

3. the scene between shane and sylas discussing the potential suspects

curious as to see where go now with the reveal of the shooter. i guess they are hopefully bringing this back full circle

The episode didn't annoy me and there were several genuinely humorous moments.

Doug's such a perv.

Not too bad, especially considering recent seasons. Actually, it was pretty good. The identity of the shooter was an interesting twist. That storyline has some potential, but then again, this show is all about squandered potential. I was really surprised to hear the return of Little Boxes but was happy it was back. I admit I missed it. I wonder if they will get multiple versions again. As usual, Doug cracked me up.

I thought it was decent.

The scene with Doug in the hospital room was awkward (being a horndog on Nancy) and hilarious to me (when he got evicted from the hospital for having the food).

It was horrible, as expected. The best part was the intro imho.

Dan Roebuck!

I'll bet I'm the only person who noticed that the old dude who was peeking over the fence was the graveyard caretaker from Friday the 13th VI.

Oh yea, this episode was meh.

Have you watched the show before...?

He's the son of the DEA agent that she was married to, and who is now dead. They used all those flashback clips when he walks into the room to emphasize this.

Yes i've watched every episode. They went so quick with that flashback and the fact that that storyline happened a shit load of seasons before.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure who the kid was. I saw the flashback and still couldn't place him.

Thanks for the help.
